Throughout August 2015, illegal migrants at collection points and reception centres were supplied with a total of 661,639 sandwiches, 3,717 kg. of luncheon meat, 18,000 cheese wedges, 18,444 kg. of bread, 22,063 units of canned food, almost 2,000 kg. of apples and bananas and 524,962 bottles of mineral water (0.5l).

In August police distributed a total of 2,886 packets of baby food, 202 kg. of biscuits, 1,376 bottles of baby food, 28 kg. of infant formula, 58 kg. of savoiardi biscuits, 5,914 litres of milk, 5,034 packets of diapers and 114 baby’s bottles for infants and young children. In August the Hungarian National Police Headquarters spent a total of almost HUF 300 million on the care of illegal immigrants. The funds were provided by the Government from the HUF 3.1 billion budget allocated for extra expenditure related to handling the increased influx of immigrants.

Contrary to statements by representatives of certain civil society organisations, care for illegal immigrants is adequate and uninterrupted; there are no shortages in food or water at the reception centres.
